Workspace Locks

When it is manipulating files in the specified workspace, Configuring obtains a write-lock for the workspace. Only a single write-lock may be in force at any time; no Configuring command may write to a workspace while a write-lock is in force. Lock status is controlled by the Codemgr_wsdata/locks file in each workspace. If Configuring cannot obtain the lock, it will display an error message and abort.
